Hey, I finally updated my archives, and added a little freebie search engine. This is for all those people who desperately needed the URL for the x-r@ted Carrot Guy, or felt they wanted to relive the time I verbally assaulted that big guy in the Canadian Tire parking lot. (What keywords would you use for that one?)

Anyway, a small thing, but it's there. :)

Posting over at DotMom's today...

 

<sunday, january 4, 2004 - 8:22 a.m.>

Mark rolled over this morning and alerted me to the fact that it was 7:30... doesn't my fitness class start in half an hour? I got up. I had a deja vu back to when Emma was little, back to a time when I was able to wake up to get ready for work while everyone slept.

Imagine... a peaceful shower followed by a quiet breakfast, where the only sounds you hear are the birds outside and the crunching of the granola in your mouth.

Blissful.

I just had one of those mornings. Rested and relaxed, I got dressed, ate breakfast, collected my things and walked to the rec centre. There were no cars to be seen, the winter's morning was restful and the wind stayed at my back. The road was freshly plowed, birds flitted about and it was all so so so serene and pretty.

<insert big meditative sigh here>

I arrived, changed, and handed over my card, at which the girl behind the counter frowned. Uh?

Sorry, she said, but we're still on a 'holiday' schedule. You can't use this until tomorrow.

My sense of serenity and state of mental relaxation evaporated in a poof. I trudged back home, this time, the wind was colder and blowing over the tops of my cute gym socks and through the seams of my coat.

I arrived, thinking everyone would be awake by now, but incredibly enough they are all still asleep. The house is still quiet.

Even though I haven't done much, I am feeling burned out with computer stuff at the moment. I think the huge Christmas update put me over the top.

The crafty bug has taken over for the moment... I have discovered ATC's and the beauty of modge podge. There is something really neat about pocket-sized art.

I was at Michael's last night picking up some supplies, and was surprised to find the store packed with people, one-third of whom were flitting around the paper aisle, where I was trying not to feel overwhelmed by all the stuff.

As I stood inline and watched people with their armfuls of purchases, I wondered who all these craft freaks are. And then I realized that I am one of them. My best purchase, a one pounder of handmade paper. :)
